The Alpha course is a 9-week practical introduction to the Christian faith. It gives people an opportunity to explore big life questions. Questions like: is there any point to life, and what happens when I die? Alpha guests learn how Christianity answers these questions as they gather together to share meals, hear talks and discuss their thoughts.
The Alpha course sparks faith in people outside the church. It kindles the faith of new Christians. And it fuels the commitment of longtime Christians.
What will the Alpha Course do for me?
You will make new friends.
You will learn about the Christian Faith (or review the basics if you already know a lot).
You will be able to explore your spiritual side.
You will be able to do all of this in a safe, no-pressure enviroment.
